    <h3>Protecting the Society</h3>
    <p>Computers and Internet are very valuable when they are used  properly, but they can also be a very powerful weapon of destruction when they  fall to wrong hands.</p>
    <h2>Misinformation and  rumor spreading</h2>
    <p>Information in the  internet is not always true and most of the time there is no responsible person  for the provided information. The society should be taught to how to filter  proper information and proper laws and regulation should be implemented to  protect the people from rumors and misinformation. This said being done this  does not mean total censorship of internet by the government, then we will lose  the value of free flowing information.</p>
    <h2>Protection from Cyber  crimes</h2>
    <p>In developing  countries due to lack of education and information people and institutions are  not that much aware about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_crime">cyber crimes</a>. But this is getting to be a huge threat  these days. Hacking, spoofing and identity theft are just a few of above  mentioned crimes. People need to be educated to protect themselves and their  data against cyber crimes. Laws and regulations should be imposed to prosecute  wrongdoers to the maximum.</p>

    <h2>Protecting children  from inappropriate content</h2>
    <p>Internet is a wealth of information. But some content in the  internet is not suitable for all age groups. When access to internet is made  easy from growing information technology trends restrictions and protection  should also be provide to protect countries children from inappropriate  content. Children and parents should be educated about the horrible  consequences of inappropriate content. Laws and regulatory bodies must be  created to properly filter content. </p>
